The Israel Structural Proteomics Center (ISPC) at the
Weizmann Institute of Science,
directed by Prof Gideon Schreiber and
Prof Joel L. Sussman, was founded in 2002 with the support
of the Israel Ministry of Science and the Divadol Foundation.
It serves as an Israeli National Center for protein production, biochemical/biophysical studies and structure determination.
The ISPC provides a service for the determination and analsysis of protein structures for scientists
both at the Weizmann and at other academic institutions and biotech/pharma companies in Israel and abroad,
as well as providing 'in house' training and consultation for students and staff.
The ISPC was part of the European Union SPINE2,
TeachSG and
FESP projects.
It is now one of the 6 core partners in the Integrated Structural Biology Infrastructure in Europe
(INSTRUCT) project.

The ISPC has developed key new tools for studying protein structure/function:
